Lots of good smells!

We are nearly at the end of May, how has that happened? It seems to have gone so quickly and we have had a beautiful month with sunshine throughout a lot of it, which has been brilliant for the garden.

This week I made a little mushroom ornament for decorating one of my flower beds, it took very little time to make, the longest part was waiting for the paint to dry. I used a terracotta flower pot and 3 different sized pot saucers and painted them inside and out. Once dry I used gorilla glue to join them together and once set painted little spots on my mushroom top.

When I am in my garden early in the morning and late evening I can really smell my beautiful honeysuckle which is looking the best it has since I moved here.

It’s that time of year where sitting out on the patio in the evening having a drink with friends is upon us and it’s nice to have a few canapes to tide you over till dinner and soak up the alcohol 😉

I made these cute little soft garlic cheese mini tarts for Friday evening drinks. So simple to make all you need is a sheet of puff pastry, packet of Boursin and cherry tomatoes and I just decorated with some basil from my garden.

I found a recipe for brioche rolls this week and was really happy with the results as they are not so sweet and crumbly as most of the rolls I have found. The smell of freshly baked bread is so inviting 😋

I am planning to go for a new walk today with the littlies along the East Okement River, definitely will need to put on the sunscreen and take a hat. I will post photos next week.

Until next week enjoy your Bank Holiday.
